*
and bearing his own cross ,
he went forth into the place called Place of a Skull ;
in Hebrew ,
Golgotha ;
*
where they crucified him ,
and with him two others ,
one on each side ,
and Jesus in the midst .
*
And Pilate wrote an inscription also ,
and put it on the cross .
And the writing was , "
Jesus the Nazarene ,
the king of the Jews ."
*
This inscription therefore was read by many of the Jews ;
for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city ;
and it was written in Hebrew ,
Latin ,
and Greek .
*
Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate ,
Write not ,
The king of the Jews ;
but that he said ,
I am king of the Jews .
*
Pilate answered ,
What I have written ,
I have written .
*
Then the soldiers ,
when they had crucified Jesus ,
took his garments and made four parts ,
to every soldier a part ,
and also his coat .
Now the coat was without seam ,
woven from the top throughout .
*
They said therefore among themselves ,
Let us not rend it ,
but cast lots for it ,
whose it shall be .
That the scripture might be fulfilled : "
They parted my garments among them ,
and for my vesture they cast lots ."
These things the soldiers did .
*
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother and his mother
s sister ,
Mary the wife of Clopas ,
and Mary the Magdalene .
*
Jesus therefore ,
when he saw his mother ,
and the disciple whom he loved standing by ,
saith to his mother ,
Woman ,
behold thy son !
*
Then he saith to the disciple ,
Behold thy mother !
And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home .
